New Adult Contemporary Romance with elements of sports and suspense
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
——— SYNOPSIS ———
GP2 race car driver Dustin Coates has been made irrelevant… 

For the past year, Dustin helped his best friend, Raine Wilkins. It was a good diversion from his twisted life. Now she’s settling down with his brother, and without the distraction from his own toxic relationship, Dustin is rapidly spiralling out of control. 

Everyone warned him to leave his girlfriend, Elora, yet they knew nothing about the baby… 

It’s up to Dustin to protect the innocent life hanging in the balance, and to do that he must endure Elora’s twisted games of manipulation and violence. However, when she does the unthinkable, Dustin finally snaps. Leaving her, the light-hearted jokester people have come to love is replaced with a grief-stricken man intent on one thing—earning a Formula One contract. 

Everything changes when Tazia Nixon moves in next door… 

Dustin clings to the Latin beauty who soothes his aching heart and helps him forget. But beneath her eternal optimism is a distressing past she refuses to share. Dustin must decide if he can risk his fragile heart a second time. She might ease his pain, but she could also break him like no one else. 

Will Dustin be able to overlook the deceit to find his forever with Tazia, or will he see nothing more than a Twisted Mind?

I leaned in, desperate to feel him. 

Finally, his lips grazed mine in barely a whisper of a touch. 

A moan of protest slipped from my lips when he parted and the musical sound of Dustin’s husky laugh caused me to shiver. 

“We shouldn’t be doing this,” he murmured, shocking me when his lips scraped my ear. 

“I really don’t care.” 

Dustin cupped my jaw, his thumb swiping over my cheekbone. The touch drew my eyes to his. 

“I should though.” 

I rested my head further into his palm and covered the back of his hand with my own to keep him there. Turning, I pressed my lips to his palm. “What’s the worst that could happen?” 

“You could break me.” 

I nipped at the tip of his finger when he trailed it over my bottom lip. “Aren’t we both already broken?” 

“You could shatter me like no one else, Taz.” Rather than meet my eyes he stared off into the distance over my shoulder. “You could destroy me.” 

I reached up, taking his jaw between my fingers and forcing his attention back to me. “I don’t want to.” 

“That doesn’t mean you won’t.” 

“No, but it means I’ll do everything in my power to try not to.” 

The resolve in his eyes wavered. He couldn’t meet my gaze for long. He exhaled heavily, and his jaw kept tensing beneath my palm. 

“Dustin,” I said, drawing his focus back to me. “It’s only a kiss.” 

It wasn’t. We both knew I was lying and if we started down this road it would lead to more. 

Regardless, Dustin pulled me into him. Pressing on the small of my back, he didn’t stop until I was flush against his chest. With his other hand he swiped back a lock of hair to slide it behind my ear. 

He lowered his head, dipping until his forehead rested against mine. “I’m trusting you, Taz.” 

I responded in a whisper, “Me too. You’re not the only one who stands to lose, Dust.” 

Finally, he closed the gap between us and his lips met mine slowly, but forcefully. He claimed and possessed me, marking me as his with his mouth. 

Every ounce of pain and fear was shared through our kiss. 

When I parted my lips Dustin’s tongue immediately swept into me. I moaned, raising my arms to encircle him. I ran my fingers through the shaggy locks of hair at the back of his neck, pulling on them until he grunted against me. 

Even though no space remained between us, Dustin forced me against him harder then dropped his head to my shoulder. He placed a tender kiss directly over the pulse point in my neck and mumbled against my skin, “Please don’t break me, Taz.”

Finding Thor by Kai Strand

Have you found your Thor? Kai Strand wants to help with that. She's here to talk about her young adult romantic suspense, Finding Thor. Be sure to check out the giveaway below. 

International intrigue hits small-town America.

Tragedy has left Cara Cassidy broken and the only thing keeping her from giving in completely is her guilt. Until Nik Rock.

Nik stirs up feelings in degrees she has never experienced, and causes her to do things that most assuredly give him the wrong impression – like kiss him before their first date. Somehow, he breaks down the walls around her emotions until she has no choice but to forgive herself and feel again.

But a mysterious, troubled past follows Nik, and Cara may prove to be his weakest link.

When a royal princess shows up looking for Nik, and an international gang arrives looking for missing jewels, Cara lands in mortal danger. Will she be able to save herself? What will happen to her newly repaired psyche if she loses Nik?

Romance, mystery, and high stakes – just another day in high school.

Ashelyn:  Kai, what inspired this book?

Kai: One of my go-to movies for intrigue is National Treasure and one of my go-to books for heart wrenching romance is Wuthering Heights. I thought, how fun would it be to write a YA mash up of those two concepts?

Ashelyn:  Wuthering Heights is pretty tragic. Is that what readers can expect?

Kai: I didn't go quite as gloomy as Heathcliff. Cara is the broken person in Finding Thor. She suffered a tragedy and isn't necessarily interested in going through the hard work of healing her psyche. But then she meets Nik Rock who at first scares her. Here's a snippet:

A deep voice, as rich and warm as homemade hot chocolate, said, “Let me assist you.”
A charming retort of gratitude already forming on her lips, Cara looked up to find the boy from the park crouching to pick up her spiral notebooks. She gaped as fear doused her like a bucket of briny seawater. Her hand, reaching for a textbook, quivered like a leaf in the wind. Somewhere in her mind she recognized that his expression and mannerisms were non-threatening, but she wanted nothing more than to flee.
She scurried to the back of the room, slid into her chair, and scrunched down, wishing she could disappear.
As the boy returned to his own seat at the front of the class, the tilt of his head seemed to indicate all his senses were tuned to her. She could almost see his ears expand to take in every sound she made. Really, she couldn’t see his ears, because his silky black hair fell in shiny waves to just above his shoulders.
When she sucked in her breath, because she realized she’d been admiring his hair, his chin angled toward her ever so slightly. Raking a hand through her own hair, she looked around the room to see if anyone was as wary of him as she was, but everyone else ignored him.

Ashelyn: And the National Treasure aspect? How does that play in?

Kai: Nik is surrounded by mystery. As a matter of fact, Cara finds herself in some pretty harrowing situations because of her association with him - kidnappings, torture, car chases - and she doesn't even know why! There's nothing like almost losing your life to help you realize you actually want to fight to keep it. And if Nik is the prize? Well, that's incentive too. He's pretty darn swoony.

Ashelyn:  Thanks for sharing a peek into Finding Thor and for the opportunity to win the fun Finding Thor swag pack.

Kai: Well, everybody needs their own Thor! Thank you for having me, Ashelyn. Good luck to your readers in the giveaway and happy reading!

Finding Thor is available in print or electronic format from the following:

✦✧✦ SYNOPSIS ✦✧✦
Purple wig, red lips, and a flirty smile—those are the only things Austin Blakely remembers when he wakes up tied to his bed…

It’s Austin’s job as the enforcer for the New York Rangers hockey team to strike fear in the hearts of grown men. But if Manhattan’s notorious gossip magazine, The Whisperer, catches wind of his dating fail—or worse, took a picture of him in his compromised state—his reputation and career could be ruined.

Magnolia Cross is still running from rumors that robbed her of the interview of a lifetime…

Intern reporter for the Madison Square Garden news affiliate isn’t Magnolia’s idea of a dream job. She doesn’t even like hockey. But it’s experience on-air, and that’s what counts. After a prank-gone-wrong leaves her stripped of her Valedictorian title, she loses her initial chance at making it big. But now she’s stronger and smarter, and won’t let trust issues screw her out of her chance for success—again.

One bad interview and two million YouTube hits later, Magnolia is a media sensation—for all the wrong reasons…

Stupid Austin Blakely with his cocky smile and hockey lingo gibberish. After he embarrasses her on national television in the name of harmless flirting, Magnolia vows never to interview him again. Except avoiding Austin is easier said than done.

It isn’t long before Magnolia discovers the real source of Austin’s fears. It’s all about the seductress in the purple wig—unless it’s about the pictures she stole that could change all their lives forever…

However, a magical link may be the demise of Logan’s devotion

With the Hunters hot on their heels, it’s up to Logan to save Cara. But when the dagger calls out, Logan is drawn to its power.

Into the Fire Release Day!

It's release day!

My paranormal romance written as Kelly Hashway is here! Check out Into the Fire.


In one month’s time, seventeen-year-old Cara Tillman will die and be reborn from her own ashes…


Her life of secrecy has never been easy. She’s watched her younger brother, Jeremy, burn and rise again in a coming-of-age process called rebirth. And just like her brother, when her time comes, she won’t remember anything from her first life other than she’s a Phoenix—a member of a small group of people descended from the mythical Phoenix bird.


The last thing she needs to worry about is falling for the new guy in town—Logan Schmidt.


Cara is drawn to Logan in a way she can’t explain, but she’s not exactly complaining. Every-thing is perfect…except it’s not. Once she’s reborn, she’ll forget Logan. And to make things worse, a Phoenix Hunter is on the loose, and Cara’s involvement with Logan is bringing out her Phoenix qualities—the very qualities that will draw the Hunter right to her.


Desperate times call for desperate measures…


Afraid of hurting Logan, Cara breaks it off for good. But her attraction to him runs deeper than a typical high school crush. She wants him—needs him. And if he proves willing to stay by her side, their love might destroy them both.


Can Cara hide from the Phoenix Hunters long enough to survive her rebirth? And if so, will it mean a new beginning with Logan—or the beginning of the end?
